Insufficient balance

  As soon as this was said, the four of them immediately stopped their movements and stared at Feng Si Niang, as if what she had just said was also something they were concerned about. Meanwhile, although Feng Tian Nan didn't make a sound, his trembling body undoubtedly told everyone that Feng Si Niang's words had struck his weak point.

  No one noticed that another middle-aged man in the field suddenly turned pale and slowly moved behind others.

  "What did you say?" Feng Tian Nan's words were all trembling with a quiver, saying one word at a time, "You, say it again."

  "Didn't you always want to know the truth about what happened back then?" Feng Si Niang repeated, but Ye Yi Zhe noticed that her heart wasn't as calm as it seemed, as if saying those words had taken a lot of effort from her. The corners of her eyes were also slightly moist, and this discovery made Ye Yi Zhe feel both heartache and shock. Was this still the same Bamboo Leaf Green who was famous throughout Jiangzhou?

  Feng Tian Nan, who had a vague guess about the truth, looked at Feng Si Niang without saying a word. The determination in his eyes told her the answer. Feng Si Niang sneered and said: "Three years ago, on this same day, it was also the birthday banquet of the young lady of the Xiao family. When Huan Tian received a phone call, he went out and never came back. At that time, he did say something, but it wasn't enough for me to confirm who the last person he saw was. I've been investigating for three years, and finally confirmed the source of that phone call."

  "Who is it?"

  Everyone looked at Feng Si Niang, and those who understood the relationship between the two of them roughly guessed what was going on. Although they didn't understand why she had to say this today in this setting, everyone's heart was lifted up to their throat.

  Three years ago, Feng Tian Nan's only son, Feng Hua Tian, was found dead in a garbage dump. There were no signs of struggle or evidence around him, just a single knife wound that killed him instantly. The killer had done a clean and efficient job, leaving no clues behind. This incident shocked the entire city of Jiangzhou, and for more than half a year afterwards, the whole city was on high alert, with everyone being suspicious of each other. Feng Tian Nan even mobilized all the resources of the Qing Bang to turn the city upside down in search of the killer.

  At that time, as the newlywed wife of Feng Huatian, Feng Siniang led the Phoenix Association to be completely still, and all members' righteous indignation was blocked by her. The style of not making a move also made Feng Tian Nan, who had white hair sent black hair, extremely angry, directly scolding her as a heartless woman, and even went straight to Feng Siniang's residence to have a big argument with her. As for the specific content, no one knew, only that after that day, Feng Siniang and Feng Tian Nan never had any contact again. Whenever there was a gathering with her, Feng Tian Nan would avoid it, and vice versa, until today.

  Feng Si Niang smiled bleakly, "You asked me what happened when Huang Tian was about to leave back then. I didn't want to say it, only saying that something came up and he had to go out for a bit. At the time, it indeed seemed like that, but I vaguely heard him shout 'brother' as his first words when he answered the phone."

  By this time, Feng Tian Nan's face had already turned gloomy.

  "I was always afraid to confirm, and didn't want to stir up trouble, secretly keeping some of the scars from back then. It wasn't until this year, when everyone had almost forgotten about what happened that year, that I finally found some clues and confirmed it was indeed that person. The reason I chose to reveal it here is because that person is right here!"

  Feng Si Niang's tone became increasingly urgent, at this moment she had waited for so many years, and finally the moment of seeing the light of day again was about to arrive.

  She's anxious, but the south wind is even more urgent than her.

  "Are you certain it's him?" He asked with a tone of unwillingness to believe, his eyes scanning the entire scene before stopping at a young man, and then behind him, another person was hiding. Without any further hesitation, he suddenly bellowed: "Come out!"

  Everyone looked at that corner, and the young man was looking at everyone with an innocent face, then pointed to himself and stuttered: "Is it me?"

  Feng Tian Nan didn't bother with him, and directly slammed the crutch in his hand onto the ground. The attendants beside him were shocked, but they didn't dare to pick it up either. They looked at the young man with sympathetic faces, knowing very well that Feng Tian Nan hadn't acted like this for many years. This could only mean someone was doomed. In his heart, he silently mourned: May God bless you, amen.

  "Xiao Zhengyu! Get out here!"

  When he heard Feng Tian Nan's voice, the foot that was originally hiding behind the young man couldn't help but bend in fear and lost its balance for a moment, falling out.

  Everyone knows that Xiao Lei has two sons and a daughter, one of whom is the father of Xiao Yu Ling, and the other is Xiao Chen Yu in front of him. When he was young, he was considered a burden by everyone for being uneducated and untalented. However, after entering the family business, he rose to prominence and his status almost caught up with that of Xiao Chen Feng, who was openly considered the successor. In everyone's opinion, this should be something that Xiao Lei can take pride in, but that's just what they think.

  Xiao Chenyu's progress has always been puzzling to the entire family, no one knows where his orders come from or where his performance comes from. Only Xiao Feng and Xiao Zhenfeng know that Xiao Chenyu has another identity, he is the adopted son of Qingbang's elder Fēng Tiān Nán and brother of Fēng Huá Tiān.

  The relationship between Xiao's family and the Green Gang is also unbreakable because of this.

  Although he got along well with the underworld, Xiao Feng had always been opposed to getting too deeply involved. Seeing this scene, his heart sank and he looked at his son, whom he had never liked, with a gloomy face: "What have you done?"

  Three years ago, Feng Huan Tian's last outing was to see his son. Who dares to say that he didn't do it? Xiao Ling, who has always understood him very well, is clear that for the sake of his goal, he is absolutely a ruthless person.

  "I...I didn't do anything." Xiao Chenyu stumbled out, his voice trembling.

  Xiao Tong hastily turned to Feng Tian Nan: "Tian Nan brother, I think there might be some misunderstanding here?"

  Feng Tian Nan didn't say a word, but instead calmed down after seeing this scene. He looked at Feng Si Niang, who let out a cold snort and continued to speak: "Misunderstanding? For three years, I've been secretly investigating every detail of what happened back then. If it weren't for hearing that one word 'brother', there would be no leads to follow, and I probably wouldn't have known the truth even on my deathbed. What a wonderful 'brother', what a wonderful Xiao family!"

  "What evidence do you have?" Xiao Zhenyu deliberately puffed out his chest, looking at Feng Si Niang and saying so. The evasiveness in his eyes made Xiao Tong let out a sigh as well, presumably what Feng Si Niang said was not wrong.

  The wind saw him still pretending, if it were three years ago when he had just learned of his son's death, he would have shot him dead on the spot. But today, three years later, he had endured too much unimaginable pressure from others, looking at Xiao Feng who was originally getting stronger and healthier but now seemed to be aging rapidly. After some thought, he still held back, if Wind Four's evidence was solid, then the Xiao family's face would no longer need to be sold, and no one could take him out to say anything again.

  Indeed, everything was perfect, and no one could find any flaws because no one would have thought of who did it. Searching for someone in the vast ocean of people is like looking for a needle in the sea. But what if you had a target to search for?

  After these three years, Feng Si Niang's heart had long been calm as still water, and it was hard to stir up many ripples. However, when she recalled this matter again, her heaving chest told everyone that she was not calm. "Your mistake lies in your lack of ruthlessness. You dared to defy the heavens and deal with your brother, but you were not ruthless enough. You actually left the person who did it back then alive. Is this your good fortune or misfortune?"

  "It's impossible, they were already eliminated by me..." Xiao Chenyu said immediately.

  He hadn't even finished speaking when he covered his mouth, and the faces of Xiao Ting and the others from the Xiao family suddenly turned pale, as if they had already seen the anger of the Green Gang. Xiao Chenfeng shook his head slightly, what was meant to come would always come, and it couldn't be stopped.

  "Yes, you silenced them, but you didn't wipe out their entire family." Feng Si Niang's words became increasingly calm, the pain of these years, her reputation as Bamboo Leaf Green, the curses of Black Widow, she who should have been furious was instead becoming more and more tranquil. However, Ye Yi Zhe still felt a chill emanating from her body, a coldness that seeped into his bones. "What if one of them had anticipated the outcome before taking action and left behind the truth for their descendants?"

  Xiao Chenyu knew that things could no longer be alleviated, and he directly collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull and his mouth muttering: "I didn't want to either, I didn't want to either."

  Everyone's eyes couldn't bear to look, just as Xiao Lei wanted to plead for mercy, he found that Xiao Chenyu suddenly became fervent and stood up straight, saying: "But you know what? I did all this just to get you! Liu Ruhuan!"

  The last three words "Xiao Zhen Yu" were shouted out with a loud roar, but it was a heavy blow to the hearts of all present.
